If you don't want GMO grain, you better find a way to triple the land avaliable for farming. It simply isn't feasible. Herbicide can be done without. But thanks to high diesel prices, which is armed robbery considering diesel is a BYPRODUCT of gas production, cultivating is more expensive than spraying. Then there's pesticides and fungicides. Without them it is extremely easy to almost completely lose a crop. There is a huge list of things that are far more unhealthy for you than grain that has been genetically modified. Focus there.
Most grains are modified to grow shorter and mature faster than older grains. They would be as tall a corn before the tampering. Here's your gluten intolerance that we see today. smh.
You can still get ancient Egyptian heirloom wheat. It's not so tall as you describe. Even the ancient depictions the Egyptians put on their walls don't show it that high. I'm calling bullshit on your assertions. Even without genetic manipulations you can simply shorten the stalk length of a grain by selecting seed from shorter stock. Gluten intolerance has nothing to do with stalk length.
So what your saying is the genome of all grains we eat today are from Egypt. I call bullshit. Grains grew wild in the temperate belt of the planet. Cultivation began agriculture. In some regions of the North Americas, the grains grew as tall as 4.5 ft before whites appeared. All of It was destroyed, save maize. I know Native American history. Most grains we eat are of Euro generations. Jesus Christ, it was almost 100 years after the first settlements that Euopean people would drink from streams and lakes because of their ignorance of hygienic practice.

When I was a kid the wheat was never more than waist height so that's bullshit.

Shut up. I won't show you the evidence I have. It was not grown in Egypt. It was grown in the Americas, but who gives a fuck.
